[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hardware is O.K. It's quiet, reasonably fast, and did come with a built-in DVD-RW drive. BUT... Even though it has two empty drive bays you can only install ONE extra HD because the motherboard only has ONE available unused SATA power connector - - the other one is used for the DVD-RW! (On the good side, they do supply the SATA power cable to use that one connector, so you can install ONE 3.5 or 2.5 inch SATA drive.) My configuration came with 16GB of RAM, but it's all on one DIMM so it runs slower than had they used two 8GB DIMMS. To access the DIMM slots and install more RAM on the motherboard requires you to remove the DVD drive and any extra HD you may have installed. So you can add RAM and one HD, but they didn't make it easy! I forgot to mention that their manuals are mostly pictures with arrows. If you're good at figuring out what the arrows mean, you can manage to upgrade your hardware. If you need written step-by-step instructions in english, forget buying this machine.
Lastly, Windows 11 is TERRIBLE. I tend to let the machine go to sleep instead of turning it off each night. Better than 50% of the time, the machine does NOT wake from sleep the next morning because Win11 has run an update overnight. When that happens, you have to do a hard reset (push the power button till the computer goes off, then push the power button to turn it back on from scratch again). That means you MUST remember to SAVE YOUR WORK before you leave for the day EVERY DAY or 50% of the time you'll lose everything because Win11 did an overnight update. It SUCKS!!
If I hadn't already upgraded the hardware and spent several days setting up the machine, I'd return it and buy a Windows 10 machine from a different vendor. The hardware layout and lousy manual made it hard to upgrade and I'm sick of doing hard reboots several times a week.
